Penn Station prescription | Uber challenger crashes

Some 600,000 travelers endure Penn Station every day. If it's not wayward fecal matter dripping from the ceiling, as it did last week, it's something else ruining your New York City arrival or departure. Cramped platforms and concourses, packs of humanity moving like dense schools of fish, confusing or missing signage, noise and other annoyances are a daily reality. Even at its best, Penn Station is the worst.

Yes, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a face-lift of Penn on the way. But a cosmetic procedure will not cure this patient. Penn Station needs open-heart surgery. Read Crain's prescription here.

Uber challenger runs out of gas

When rideshare company Juno launched last spring, its marketing pitch was that it would be nicer to its drivers than Uber. It would take a smaller cut of their fares, have a 24-hour help line and even issue them shares in the company.

Juno’s approach to equity-sharing fueled its growth, but the plan blew up in its face last month. Where will it go from here? Matthew Flamm has the answer.
